Laurie Whitman

I will use a clothesline or the dryer's automatic setting (not the timer).

I will write down three things every day for two weeks that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will donate unneeded clothing, books, and household items rather than throwing them away.

I will wear clothes until they are dirty and only run the washing machine for full loads.

I will spend 10 minutes checking out all the energy-saving opportunities on Chelan PUD's web page, ConservationMakesCents.org. Action Resource > >

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.
